Chapter 3
watched him unmoved. We had been in love for eight years, and he rarely gave me clothes. I also hesitated to buy new clothes and always insisted on wearing the same piece for several years,
mending and patching it.
This high–end dress is obviously Janet’s style of dressing.
I lowered my gaze and remained silent. He rubbed his hair in annoyance, perhaps thinking about never having given me such a beautiful dress before.
“Never mind, I will figure it out. You stay at home by yourself!”
I, however, lifted my head and took the dress.
‘Five years ago this afternoon, I would have given it to you, with just one condition – the approval of my resignation application.”
Harry was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with disbelief. “Really? You still remember this matter? Alright, you want to quit, don’t you?”
“You came to me at night! I approved it! I wanted to see what good days you could have after leaving
me!”
“You left me, who else would want you, this worn–out shoe!”
His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had lost his sanity, and he yelled at me without any regard.
I remained calm on the surface, but deep inside, I was already full of wounds.
These eight years, where have I ever had a good day?
Every day, I acted like a nanny, taking care of his meals and drinks, looking after his physical well–being. Even at work, I did the lowest–level odd jobs, and anyone could look down on me.
If Harry had truly cared about me, he would have sympathized with me for these eight years.
I involuntarily clenched the needle, and it pricked into my fingertips, instantly staining them red
with blood.
I cried until my nose turned red and dialed Cristofer’s phone number, saying, “I don’t want to be
here anymore…”
The person across from me comforted me with concern, saying they would come back immediately.
I sewed the last stitch attentively, and finally, the stone in my heart was lifted.
After doing this, we no longer owe each other.
I called Harry to ask where I should deliver it, but he only sent a text message saying, “You can keep
1/4
“I find it dirty!”
silently watched the few messages he sent me, most of which were me taking the initiative to be
attentive.
He replied to less than ten messages.
Eight years of initiative did not bring about an equal exchange.
I didn’t reply, instead he became anxious and sent a few more inquiries: “Didn’t you see the messages I sent?”
“I didn’t want that skirt anymore, you can keep it and wear it yourself.”
‘I said I didn’t want it! Are you blind or what?”
I silently blocked and took a picture of this dress, and sent it to Janet.
“Miss, your dress has been sewn. May I ask where should I deliver it to?”
Janet immediately replied softly, “Harry said there was a maid mending that skirt, turns out it was you, I’m really sorry. I already said I don’t want that skirt after wearing it twice, but he insisted that it was the first time we met and he gave it to me, so it holds more significance. I can’t do anything
about it either!”
“Thank you so much, I’m at Night Bar, please help me buy a condom when you come, thank you!”
I felt a chill in my heart, but I still silently rode my bike to deliver it.
When I arrived, Harry and Janet were dancing closely, and there were many familiar colleagues
around.
When Harry saw me coming, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes were filled with rage.
“What did you come here for? How shameless and audacious!”
Janet smiled and stopped Harry, saying, “I kindly asked someone to help me sew my dress, why are. you shouting at them?”
“Besides, it was me who asked her to come, after all, that dress was important to both of us!”
After speaking, she pouted and coquettishly, and Harry indulgently pinched her cheeks..
“The little princess did whatever she wanted.”
Then, he looked at me coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger.
“What else is there?”
I took out my resignation calmly, looked up at him.
2/4
Mr. Mooney, I have done as you instructed. Please sign it.”
For a moment, everyone fell silent, and they all silently looked at Harry.
Harry’s face looked very unpleasant. He never expected that I could confront him face to face in front of everyone.
He seemed to want to see reluctance on my face, but ultimately did not find it.
“Why is Valery so amazing? How dare they boast in front of Mr. Mooney?”
“Yeah, I could see that their relationship was not simple!”
The people next to him started whispering, and Harry finally couldn’t bear it any longer and burst
out.
“I signed it, don’t you regret it! Useless to keep it if you don’t understand!”
After he finished speaking, he snatched the resignation agreement and signed it, then fiercely
threw it in my face.
I bent down in a disheveled manner and picked them up one by one, but a ring was thrown in front
of me.
It was our engagement ring, Harry and I.
Janet innocently said, “Valery, when you left, could you also throw this away? Harry said it was old last night and I wore a new one with him. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”
I was about to shake my head, but I was lifted up by a pair of big hands, and the ring was kicked back to Harry’s feet.
“Are you without hands or without feet? Throw away your own rubbish!”
I turned around and saw Cristofer with an angry face, he had arrived so quickly!
Harry’s bewildered expression turned into fury the moment he realized what he was seeing: “Why are you back? Valery is mine now!”
